hi does anyone else struggle to walk even short distances without shooting pains in my ankles
Hi
I have trouble with my legs, feet and ankles. Please have it check I went to the doctor after months of trouble with my ankle to find out it wasnt fibro causing the pain but a fracture that was not healing properly.
Hi, I am sorry you are having such difficulty. I get a lot of lower leg, ankle, and foot pain as well. I know sometimes I feel like I can't walk another step. When it is bad I try to hold on to something as I walk, it seems to help a little. So at home I will hold on to the walls or furniture, at stores I always push a cart for stability. Hugs.
Yes, I think many of us have problems with some parts of their legs/feet. My worst is hip and knee. I used to fast walk 5.5 miles nearly every day, now I have hard time to walk 15-20 minutes on the treadmill at a moderate pace without feeling that my femur wants to push through the hip socket.
It is frustrating beyond believe but this is what we have to learn to live with and adjust to the limitations is gives us. Not that I don't get angry, sad, upset, depressed and whatever other feelings but in the end it doesn't change where we stand with this disease.

Hello
Have had a stabbing pain in my right foot for 2 weeks now. Doesn't stop me from walking just a bit painful. I assumed it was just another strange symptom of Fibro. The pain comes from the bone!
Take care Anne
hi chris. i am sorry you are feeling useless. it is very understandable. i have been disabled with chronic fatigue immune dysfunction syndrome which is a complex multi symptomed illess.it includes much more than pain and fatigue. i was bedridden and had to be cared for the first 10 of 28 years.I went through the long list of negative feelings about myself and my llife. What i can tell you is what i finally realized is that illness does not seem to discriminate and i certainly did not consciously choose to be like this. I want to be better, to be cured, healed ,.have a miracle for myself and all others who are ill and suffering. I want to dance again. For now I am grateful that i can shower myself, feed myself, hold a spoon and fork to my mouth on my own. To get up and out of bed and sometimes walk outside or ride in the car with my hubby to go shopping and pick out my own foods. I am not bedridden any more even though i am fairly homebound. I am still challenged but not bedridden with everything under the sun that happened to me. i am always with hope to get better and keep that in my mind and my thoughts and believe it can be so.My motto as many already know is " I do what i can , when i can and when i cant, I dont." Illness is a rough journey but i want to think , pray, home and believe that healing can be a slow journey but nonetheless with all possibility of become a reality/ Do the best you can to deal with the symptoms, seek what ever help you can and find things that work for you. And surely come here to this wonderful site with the most friendly, compassionate, caring, supportive folks. all the best to you
